Skin It Back

(album: Feats Don't Fail Me Now - 1974)

Well I'm waiting for something to take place
Something to take me away from this race
'Round city to city, town to town
Running around in the shoes of a clown
And that desperate, no count, desperado
A depot of love, my business is the street
I be shaking 'em down, oh Colorado
Texas she's nice but Georgia's oh so sweet
Steal away with me darling, your loving just can't be beat
So it seems that the world keeps on turning but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wondering just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back (skin it back).

Something real, something to feel
I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess
It's those rock and roll hours
Early graves without flowers
Please, please darling put my mind at rest
I'm begging, please darling put my mind at rest
So it seems that the world keeps on turning but so what
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream and that's all that I ask for
So well now, I'm wondering just how I'm gonna tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you
Skin it back, tell it to you.
